I’m a simple person. I find a reason to smile everyday because I enjoy life.
Life, after all, is for living, loving, dreaming, creating, and sharing with the people around you.

I’m also a photographer.

I photograph because I want to capture and preserve those life-giving moments between friends, family, lovers, and strangers. Thoughtful and well crafted imagery has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it has brought me to where I am today: capturing the most thrilling human experiences of emotion.

I hope to share my vision with you. Let’s collaborate to create timeless artifacts that you and your family will hold dearly for years to come.​

When Sarah contacted me through a mutual friend, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. We didn’t exchange much information before the wedding, only minor details. Normally, I like to have a good talk about the wedding day with my clients, so I didn’t know what to expect flying all the way to Botswana. I was also incredibly sick with the flu leading up to the day of the wedding, so I was nervous I wouldn’t be at 100% to think creatively on my feet.

Perhaps it was Sarah’s bright and warming personality, or maybe it was the beautiful bush that Sarah and Andre shared their nuptials in. Either way, I knew that this couple shared a captivating love story and I couldn’t have been more excited to capture it.

Oh yea, and the flu I had? It passed the day before the wedding. Good timing, huh?

This wedding will always be special to me because of how genuine and endearing Sarah and Andre are.

I wish you both the very best in the years to come and hope we meet again.

“Have a wonderful time, and don’t forget to write to me
Be like the swallows and remember home as a loving tree
I feel silence is best enjoyed with an open heart beating next to you
But for now be my darling and whisper your words to the rolling moon

rich-Wow – man, great post! So, it’s 6am here and Murphy is up with me while I try to get some work done before everyone else wakes up and he’s looking at the post too. At the appropriate point he yelled, “Ah – a spider!”

Johan-Amazing Kyle! You’ve covered it so well. Did you ever sleep? Being in this stunning place I would have pressed the shutter 24/7 for sure. Congrats, and this should be in the top row of your portfolio now for sure. Very impressive.

Zachary Long-Awesome job, how much gear did you end up bringing for this?
